WORD: Habit. Habit is from the latin habitus meaning condition or appearance and dress, as well as from habere, to have and hold. From dwelling comes habitation, and to inhabit. The habitual may have some of the attributes of ritual such as ceremony but it relies more precisely with the recording of life’s idiosyncratic everyday activities, with psychological overtones and with the subjective. It is our intention to move from the subjective to the inter-subjective through architectural means. Project: To design and site a structure that accommodates a habit associated with positions of our body within the cycle of day into night/night into day.
